The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution extending MINUSCA’s mandate in the Central African Republic until 15 November 2027, with the military ceiling reduced from 14,046 to 12,000 personnel, according to Africanews. The extension is part of a gradual transition, as the mission is to transfer some responsibilities to Central African authorities while continuing to support electoral deadlines and security reforms.
The UN Security Council must decide on the renewal of MINUSCA’s mandate, which expires this weekend, with a gradual reduction of the mission under consideration. Deployed since 2014, it still has nearly 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 police officers, according to Africa News.
